Keep level of productivity working on distance

Apperiance of koronavirus generated new conditions in life of companies. Some of them entered in temporary stop, others decereased the volume of production and some companies organised part of their activity to be done from home office.

Keeping in focus group 3, can happen that:

• The Manager is working from home office
• The Manager is working either from home, either from company office and is coordinating subordinates who are accomplishing tasks in home office.

This articel proposes a way of control over productivity of employee who is working in home office in absence of phisical proximity. In this case „passing next to & observe” is impossible and asking/providing additional information requires extra time for communication what othervise could be used for task accomplishment.

1-st figure:

List the tasks to be accomplished. (Larger tasks split it in smaller steps (logical units)). Assign a number to each of them (the number become the code). We got number of tasks.

2-nd figure:

To each numbered task assign an amount of time for accomplishment. Summarize the amount of time needed.

3-rd figure:

Calculate the Load as a ratio of Sum of estimated time from 2 and Amount of Time employee is supposed to spend working for company in home office.

Load = (Sum of Estimated Time) / (Amount of Available Time)

Above described 3 Figures System gives the best result if tailor made for a specific company and specific tasks. At tailoring (fine tuning) of 3 figures system, a productivity coach can provide handy on line assistance. For benefits working with a coach:

1.  Activities in the list has different importance and priority. Applying prooven methods (Eisenhower Matrix) the coach will help you to make right prioritization.
2. Assigning time necessary for accomplishment is easy, when deal with known, repetative activities, but to correctly assign time to suddenly emerged task seems „mission impossible”. Here again help of Productivity Coach can save you from lot of disagreements.
3. Construct a Blueprint of To Do List where beside of Three Figures priorities, tasks and due dates are easy to follow.
4. Proposal for a way and frequency of communication between Manager and Employee (to Follow Up given tasks and assign new ones). You will receive proposal to give a motivating feedback in order to maintain (or increase) motivation level of employee who works far from company office and its conditions.
